Brain

This presentation to the Southeast Regional Clinical and Translational Science Conference explains the tool created by a BME Capstone team to help with early detection of preeclampsia among pregnant women in Ethiopia. The team was one of seven to present virtually alongside professionals at the annual meeting of researchers and clinicians.
Capstone Teams Share Their Work at Georgia CTSA Regional Conference

It's the first time BME Capstone teams have presented their solutions at a conference as part of the poster sessions or podium talks.

Stretchable Wireless Sensor Could Monitor Healing of Cerebral Aneurysms

A wireless sensor small enough to be implanted in the blood vessels of the human brain could help clinicians evaluate the healing of aneurysms.

Integrated Sensor Could Monitor Brain Aneurysm Treatment

A proof-of-concept sensor could help with monitoring treatment of brain aneurysms.
A "navigational map view" of a section of a mouse brain. Like the map view of an Earth imaging program, this image of a brain section takes cues from actual imaging performed with highest-energy X-rays at a synchrotron and turns them into a graphic depiction. The imaging concentrates on a mesa-scale of the brain analogous to the map view of Google Earth. The scale could be useful in studying how the brain computes.
Navigational View of the Brain Thanks to Powerful X-Rays

How the brain computes can arguably be best studied on the "meso" scale, and new imaging makes brain tissue visible on that level.
Riley Zeller-Townson, a Georgia Tech Ph.D. student in Steve Potter’s lab, demonstrates preparation of a cell culture for placement into the optoclamp. The optoclamp uses a computer to acquire and process the neuronal response to optical stimuli in real-time and then vary the light input to maintain a desired firing rate.

Closing the Loop with Optogenetics

Researchers have created a technology called the optoclamp which closes the loop in optogenetic systems.
iDETECT is an easily administered, comprehensive system designed to improve neurologic assessment following mild traumatic brain injury, such as concussion sustained in athletic events and military conflict.
